For Paralympian athlete Gerrard Gosens, taking on the challenge of swimming across the English Channel is more than just a physical one. It's also mental, as the blind swimmer confronts the elements and conditions of the day and then figures out how to overcome them.  Gerrard tells us on Streets of Your Town podcast how he is well into an intense training regimen preparing for his attempted channel crossing in August - swimming from the UK to France in his quest to become the first blind person to do so.  It's a big leap from his previous sport of running - having represented Australia in long distance running in three Paralympic Games and three IPC World Athletic Championships from 1996 to 2011, as well as the Paratriathlon at Tokyo 2022.

Meet Mac Potts, one half of our two-part story this month. Born totally blind, Mac discovered his love for music as a young child. While music quickly became a big part of his life, he shares that he often felt like a kid who struggled to find a place of belonging. But when he discovered he could just be authentically himself, he also discovered music could be used as a tool for connection. That connection with music is how he met Hailey, his now wife. Hailey's early story also starts with music. As an extremely shy child who struggled with a lot of social anxiety, she found her voice through music. Music became her dream and although she almost gave up on it at one point, she has learned to be authentic with her story as well. Together with a sense of humor and their three little girls, Mac & Hailey are living out their dream as a full time recording artist and piano teacher. — To watch Mac & Hailey's video, see the full show notes, and access resources: www.only7seconds.com/the-potts — To learn more and support the I KNOW LONELY Project: click here.

Ever wondered why blind people wear sunglasses? Or if blind people use their blindness to game the system? Have you debated whether it's ok to say something like “oh my god I'm so blind” in front of a blind person? Then you may want to listen to this episode. This is the start of a new series where I answer questions you're too afraid to ask about blindness/blind people. If you have questions you'd like me to answer, put them in a review below and they could be answered in a future episode of the series!

Why does the Gemarah in Nedarim say a Poor person, Metzorah, Blind Person, and a Childless person are considered like they are dead? What do those four have in common? Based on ideas of the Einei Yitzchak and Rav Chaim Shmuelevitz.

As a social entrepreneur, I would like to pose two ideas of which the first one being, whether it is possible to teach a blind person to be an architect? A different way to approach architecture design, where we may call it "sensory design" or "multi-sensory design" or an extension of "universal design" even. For the second idea, we could be more experimental in our design practice approach, learning from Chris Downey's TedTalk the idea of "awareness of your capacity to organize your environment in a completely different way through sound, through touch, through smell" and other references discussed earlier. So with these two notional ideas in mind, there is a potential to change how we perceive architecture design and move ahead in making things work better for our society. © 2022 Talk Architecture, Author: Naziaty Mohd YaacobPhoto: Universal Design Bus Stop Version 2 by © Universiti Malaya, Author: Naziaty Mohd Yaacob

For many blind and partially sighted people becoming an astronaut and going into space might be an impossible dream but for one blind man, Sina Bahram President of Prime Access Consulting, this has come one step closer. As a member of the Mission Astro Access team he recently experienced weightlessness and zero gravity in a Parabolic flight. Sina joined Connect Radio's Toby Davey all the way from North Carolina to tell us what it was like experiencing weightlessness and zero gravity. Sina began by telling Toby how space has fascinated him since the age of 4, how he heard about the Mission: Astro Access parabolic flight and the fully inclusive application process. Sina then explained to Toby about what actually happens in a parabolic flight, what experiencing weightlessness and zero gravity was like for him as a blind person and whether he felt disorientated at all during the periods of weightlessness and zero gravity. Sina ended the interview by sharing with Toby his thoughts on whether in the future it would be possible for a blind person to go into space, walk on Mars or work in the International Space Station.

Matthew Layton and Sam Rickard present Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio's weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view. This week… Would you employ a person with a vision impairment? More specifically, if you had a choice of two candidates, both of whom had similar qualifications or experience, but one of those candidates had a vision impairment, which one would you choose? Employing someone with a vision impairment can be quite a daunting prospect. As a result, there are thousands of people around the world who - in spite of their incredible talents and superhuman work ethics - have perhaps been ‘between jobs' for more of their careers than some of their contemporaries We speak to Vision Australia's Belinda Wilson, who has made it her life's mission to help get more people living with low vision or blindness into sustained employment - both by helping individual candidates be as prepared as possible to “get that job” and by educating employers to give it to them. If any of the issues covered in this episode strike a chord with you or if there's a topic you feel we should be talking about, please get in touch with the show: CALL or TEXT: 04 500 78834 EMAIL: studio1@visionaustralia.org   TWITTER: http://twitter.com/varadionetwork  and  http://twitter.com/whingeingpom  -- [PHOTO CAPTION: A blind person.

This week, we're releasing an episode on an old favorite which has gone unwatched by too many secrets!  I mean people.  Too many people. If you haven't seen this film, it stars Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, Sir Ben Kingsley, Dan Aykroyd, River Phoenix, Donald Strathairn, and Mary McDonnell.  The cast list itself could have filled any epic movie at the time, but thanks to Phil Alden Robinson (In the Mood, Field of Dreams) we get a solid, well-written caper that is both funny and thought-provoking (especially considering the Wikileaks/NSA spying scandals).
